WATER HEATER.

Application led September 5, 1922. Serial No. 586,171.

T o'wZZ whom t mag l at I, FRANK Sonoran, a

Be it known t lcitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county o-f Cook, and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Water Heaters,

of which the following is a specication.

This invention `relates to water heaters,

and has for its object the provision of means of this character disposed adjacent a burner,

and adapted to be heated thereby, andhaving connections leading to a storage tank, so ythat a constant supply of hotwater is delivered to said tank. f

Another objectof the invention is to construct such, heating means in combination with a vessel supporting spider,y so that the heating means mayl be removed or replaced from operative position at will, the spider being adapted foruse with orvwithout the heating means being connected therewith.

- Still another object of the invention is to dispose the heating element in the burner in such amanner that same does not interfere with the ordinary eiiiciency of theburner to Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists'in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed. v The invention willbe .best understood by Areference. to the accompanying drawings `forming a part of this specication,and in whiceh,

Fig. l, is a top plan view of the invention, H Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the invention, showingA afragment of the storage tank `associated therewith,

Fig. 3,A is a sectional view on the line 3 3 0f l, I i

Fig. 6, is a sectionalview on the line 6 6 of Fig. 2.'

` -Referring to the drawings, 10 represents a stove of any ordinary type, being provided with burners 11 and 12, and having vessel supporting spiders 13 and 14, mounted thereon adjacent the burners 1-1 and 12 respectively@vr j f f v Disposed adjacent the burner 12 is an v, elongated heating element 15, ,whichhas its ends communicating` with connections 16.

, and 17 which lead to a storagetank 18. The

heating element 15is shown as mounted on .the spider 14, but of `course may be supported adjacent the burner 12 inany suitable manner; and similar heating elements may be provided for a plurality of burners, if desired, and all of such elements connected together by any suitable connections, as will be readily appreciated. j By this arrange` ment it will be seen that a constant supply of hot water will be delivered to the tank 18 vvWhile theburners are operating, without interfering with the eliiciency of ythe burners to any appreciable extent. i

As stated,'the heating element 15 'may be :supported adjacent the burner l2 by any suitable means, but I preferably construct p same in combination with aV spider of' apari ticularl type such as that sho-wn at 14 in Fig. 1. Vfflhejspider 14 is preferably made up of mated sections, adapted to rest in a countersunk bed 19, such sections being provided with stud and aperture connections 20which aid in assembling the sections. Such sections arealso provided with chambers 21 and 22 which communicate with the connections 16vand 17, respectively, and such cham bers preferably are provided withinwardly projecting oppositely disposed bosses23 and 24, as lshown in the drawings. The heating element 15, which is elongated so as not to .interfere with the .eiiiciency ofthe burner,

is preferably secured between thev sections of the spidery 14 by meansof caps 25 and 26 mounted on vsuch element and adaptedto bethreaded onto the bosses 23 and 24.

By the above construction, it will beseen that the .heating element 15 may be held between the sectionsfof the spider l14 by placing such sections in the countersunk bedv 19; and if the countersunk bed is not desired it will be apparent that by threading the caps Aon the heating element onto the bosses 23 and 24 of the sections ofthe spider 14, such heatingelement will be heldin positionas well as holding the sections of the spider toj gether. j y i While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for. carrying my invention intoy effect, this isc'apable of variation and modiicationwithout ldeparting from. the spirit of the invention. I,

therefore, do not wish to bev limited to the precisedetails of construction -set forth, but

desire toavail myself of such variations andmodifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The combination with a bur-ner, ot a storage tank, a conduit having portions connected with said storage tank and extending adjacent to said burner; a sectional vessell supporting member disposed over said burner and having said portions connected thereto; and a heating element communicating with sai-d conduit portions and connected with said supporting member in such manner asf-to hold the sanne in assembled position.

2. The combinati-on with a burner, of a storage-tank, a 'conduit having portions connected with said tank and extending adja- -cent to said burner; a sectional vessel sup- -porti-ng member disposed adjacent to said `loi-irner vand havi-ng'said-portions connected thereto; and a heating element communicating with said portions, said element being-held in position'between the sections of ysaid sup-porting member' when in assembled relation. f

The combination with a burner, of a storage tank', a conduit havingportions'connected with said tank r'and extending adjacentsaid burner; a vessel supporting member lconnected to said portions and disposed adjacent said burner; and an elongated Vheating element mountedon said' supporting member and communicating withfsaid conduit portions'.

The combination `with a burner, of a Vstorage tank a conduit having portions connected' with sa-id tank and extending adj acent said burner; avessel supporting member connected to' said portions and disposed adjacent vvsaid burner;` and an elongated heating element extending VJfrom one side yto the oth-eroi said supporting memberv and communicating with said 'conduit portions.

5. The combination with a burner', of a storage tank, a conduit havingv portions connected. with said tank'and extending adj-acent said burner; ya vessel supporting meinfber mounted adjacent to said burner and 'connected to said portions; and an elonfgated :heating element extending .from one side tothe other of said supporting member and communicating with said portions, kin vthe same r`plane as the outer surfacey o'sald supporting member.
